Abstract

To supply seeds with a good quality as plant materials for herbicide screening and to know whether the germination characteristics could be associated with a differential response to herbicides, germination characteristics and differential responses to herbicides were investigated with 3 species of a genus Setaria ; Yellow foxtail(Setaria glauca P. Beauv, SETGL), Giant foxtail(Setaria faberi Hetrm, SETFA), and Green foxtail(Setaria viridis P. Beauv, SETVI). Degree of dormancy was high in the order of SETGL, SETVI and SETFA. The dormancy of SETGL seed was relatively well removed by room temperature and drying storage, but SETFA and SETVI by low temperature and wetting storage(stratification). For breaking dormancy of SETGL, SETVI and SETFA, it was necessary for being kept under the above storage conditions for at least 2, 4 and 4-5 months, respectively. When the dormancy-breaked seeds were transfered to low temperature($4^{\circ}C$) and drying condition, SETGL showed germination rate of 96% even after 2 month storage. However, SETVI and SETFA showed a decreased germination of 54% and 69%, respectively, with a decreased velocity of germination, indicating that secondary dormancy might be induced. On the other hand, a significant change in germination rate was not observed as the seeds were transfered to room temperature($25^{\circ}C$) and drying condition. The germinability of SETGL seed began to decline from 6th year after storage in room temperature and drying condition. All of 3 species showed relatively high germination rate at alternating temperature of $30^{\circ}C$/$20^{\circ}C$(14hr/10hr) and their germination were not increased by light. All of 3 species exhibited similar responses to cycloxydim, sethoxydim and primisulfuron in greenhouse experiment. In contrast, SETVI and SETFA were relatively susceptible to fenoxapropethyl, SETFA to fluazifop-butyl, SETGL and SETFA to clorimuron-ethyl, and SETGL to EK-2612. The difference in herbicidal response among 3 species was the highest in the treatment of EK-2612. These results suggest that there is no a consistent tendency in responses of 3 species to herbicides which have the same target site. And the relationship between germination characteristics and differential responses to herbicides was not found.

금강아지풀, 가을강아지풀, 강아지풀 종자의 발아특성과 제초제에 대한 반응차이를 조사하여 시험재료로서 발아력이 양호한 종자를 효율적으로 공급할 수 있는 조건들을 찾음은 물론 종간 발아특성 차이와 제초제에 대한 반응차이간의 관련성 여부를 검토하여 보았다. 금강아지풀의 경우 실온건조에서, 가을강아지풀 및 강아지풀의 경우는 저온습윤에서 가장 빨리 휴면타파 되었다. 휴면의 정도는 금강아지풀, 강아지풀, 가을강아지풀 순으로 강한 경향이었다. 금강아지풀의 경우 휴면타파된 종자를 저온습윤 또는 저온건조에 보관하더라도 발아력에 변함이 없었으나 가을강아지풀 및 강아지풀의 경우는 저온건조에 두면 발아속도가 늦어지며 초기발아율이 떨어지는 경향이었으나 50% 이상의 발아력(2개월째)은 유지하였다. 금강아지풀 종자를 실온건조에 보관할 경우 6년 이상이면 발아력이 감퇴되었다. 발아는 세 종류 모두 $30^{\circ}C$ 14시간/$20^{\circ}C$ 10시간의 온도조건에서 양호하였으며 광의 유무에 따른 발아율 타이는 인정되지 않았다. Cycloxydim, sethoxydim, primisulfuron 처리에서는 종간 반응차이가 없었으나, fenoxapropethyl은 가을강아지풀과 강아지풀에서, fluazifopbutyl은 가을강아지풀에서, clorimuron-ethyl은 금강아지풀파 가을강아지풀에서 감수성 정도가 약간 높았을 뿐이었다. 반면에 EK-2612는 반응 차이가 현저하여 강아지풀보다 금강아지풀에서 높은 감수성을 보였다. 이로 볼 때 동일 작용메카니즘을 가지는 약제들간에도 종간에 일관된 반응차이를 가지는 것이 아니라 오히려 화합물에 의존하는 반응을 보였으며, 종간 발아특성 차이와 제초반응과는 어떠한 관련성이 없었다.
